【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、貯湯式電気温水器の配管構造に関し、特に、貯湯式電気温水器からの給湯流量を増大することができる貯湯式電気温水器の配管構造に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
一般的に、貯湯式電気温水器においては、その貯湯槽に、水道の直圧がかかる給水管が接続され、この給水管の圧力を利用して、貯湯槽に貯留されている湯を押し上げ、給湯を行うようにしている。
【0003】
ところで、従来、貯湯式電気温水器の貯湯槽に給水管を接続する場合、電気温水器の貯湯槽に水道の直圧がかからないようにするために、給水管の最上流側に減圧弁を配設し、この減圧弁を介して接続するようにしていた。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、このように、給水管の最上流側に減圧弁を配設して、貯湯式電気温水器の貯湯槽に給水管を接続するようにすると、貯湯式電気温水器の配管系の水圧が、減圧弁によって規制されることとなり、貯湯式電気温水器から供給される給湯流量を増大することが困難であるという問題があった。
【0005】
本発明は、上記従来の貯湯式電気温水器機の有する問題点に鑑み、貯湯式電気温水器からの給湯流量を自由に増大することができる貯湯式電気温水器の配管構造を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、本発明の貯湯式電気温水器の配管構造は、水道の直圧がかかる給水管を分岐して、一方の分岐管を減圧弁を介して電気温水器の貯湯槽に接続するとともに、前記給水管を分岐した水道の直圧がかかる他方の分岐管に流量比率調整弁を配設し、該流量比率調整弁から分岐した分岐管を貯湯槽内に配設した間接熱交換器の入側に接続し、間接熱交換器の出側を前記流量比率調整弁の下流側の前記他方の分岐管に接続して給湯を行うようにしたことを特徴とする。
【0007】
この貯湯式電気温水器の配管構造は、水道の直圧がかかる給水管を分岐して、一方の分岐管を減圧弁を介して電気温水器の貯湯槽に接続するとともに、前記給水管を分岐した水道の直圧がかかる他方の分岐管に流量比率調整弁を配設し、該流量比率調整弁から分岐した分岐管を貯湯槽内に配設した間接熱交換器の入側に接続し、間接熱交換器の出側を前記流量比率調整弁の下流側の前記他方の分岐管に接続して給湯を行うようにしているので、電気温水器の貯湯槽に給水管から水道の直圧がかからないようにしながら、貯湯式電気温水器の配管系の水圧を高めることができ、貯湯式電気温水器からの給湯流量を自由に増大することができ、また、必要に応じて、高温の湯を供給することもできる。
